    I can't delete my score for this, I intended to rate the 1.5 HD release. I guess it's more of the same, so 6/10 for both. Kingdom Hearts presents itself as an amazing journey of epic proportions, but when you sit down and play it, you find that it just puts a character in small rooms that has hordes of enemies in them. Some token adventure elements, some mini-games, some actual epicI can't delete my score for this, I intended to rate the 1.5 HD release. I guess it's more of the same, so 6/10 for both.

    Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix 7/10 - Kingdom Hearts 2 showed sometimes sequels can work. The game once again continues on with Sora and his friends Donald and Goofy.

The game once again continues on with Sora and his friends Donald and Goofy. The games story once again retell's altered versions of the Disney worlds set throughout the game. The battle system is practically identical to the previous main title with the inclusion of a "Drive Guage" that allows Sora to transform into a special character; usually in the style of new clothing and allows the player to utilise unique attacks and abilities that can decimate the playing field.The music maintains its unique style like the original and is molded well with the game. Overall a enjoyable game. For the trophy hunters; a platinum for this game is quite easy to achieve.

    Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 4/10 - Birth By Sleep is a prequel to the original game. and by prequel we are talking biblical age. The game introduces new characters and the story revolves around the beginning of everything. There is no Disney characters in this one and the game forces you to replay the game multiple times to see each characters involvement in the story. The story itself isn't very gripping and the game is over relatively quickly. The battle system yet again is similar and doesn't really explore anything new. This title was a big let down for the Kingdom Hearts games you are used to. For the trophy hunters; getting a platinum is is no real accomplishment. However is rather annoying as you need to replay the game a number of times.

    Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded provides a story purely in a cut scene format and is not technically classified as a game.

    Combining all scores this title has been rated as a 6/10.

    KH2 was subpar. The gameplay was good but the story was meh and the dialog was "oh my god, I want to shoot myself". I found myself skipping scenes as the dialog was so annoying. Not to mention that some degenerate thought it would be funny to have everyone say "Sora, Donald, & Goofy" all the time. The pauses in the conversations was annoying as well.

    Those who want to relive PS2 days might pick this up, but the rest will probably be put off by these oldies. [02/2015, p.53]
